491 In the Hour of Trial
[1]
In the hour of trial
Jesus plead for me
Lest by base denial
I depart from Thee;
When Thou see st me waver
With a look recall
Nor for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall.

With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm;
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm;
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane
Or in darker semblance
Cross-crowned Calvary.

Should Thy mercy send me
Sorrow toil and woe
Or should pain attend me
On my path below
Grant that I may never
Fail Thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on Thee.
